Is Ah Xuan Scared

Seduce her...

Su Hua was momentarily stunned.

Looking up at the man above her, her eyes darkened in an instant.

"What does Xuan want me to help you with?" Su Hua's crimson lips curved into a slight smile.

She loved seeing her Xuan rely on her like this.

"Two of my company's animated films were held up during the review process. I was hoping you could help me get them approved," Lin Xuan replied.

"That depends on how Xuan performs," Su Hua murmured softly.

It was just a matter of a word from her, but Xuan's rare initiative made her look forward to it.

"As long as you satisfy me, I'll help Xuan," Su Hua teased seductively in Lin Xuan's ear.

Lin Xuan leaned down and kissed her lips.

Su Hua's pale legs wrapped around his waist.

As the two were lost in their passion, a series of knocks sounded at the door.

Lin Xuan made a move to get up and answer it.

Su Hua clung tightly to his neck. "Xuan, don't bother."

The knocking continued insistently.

"I should probably check," Lin Xuan said, getting up and straightening his clothes. They had only been passionately kissing, nothing more.

Their clothes were still intact, though slightly disheveled.

The mist in Su Hua's eyes hadn't yet cleared, but her expression had turned icy, her mood clearly displeased.

Lin Xuan opened the door.

The maid immediately felt a chilling coldness.

"Why is it so cold?" the maid muttered, rubbing her arms.

Lin Xuan frowned. "What is it?"

"Master Su Guoxiong is here. He's waiting for you and the young lady in the living room," the maid replied respectfully.

"Alright, I'll be right down."

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Su Hua, dressed in a nightgown, walked over.

The maid couldn't help but glance at Su Hua curiously.

The young lady's face was slightly flushed, and her eyes still held a misty allure. There was no denying that she exuded a captivating charm, so much so that even the maid, a woman herself, felt her heart race.

But... the young lady didn't seem to be in a good mood.

When Su Hua looked at her, the maid felt a shiver of fear run down her spine.

It was as if she had interrupted something important, though she had only come to knock on the door.

"Tell him to leave. Say Xuan and I have matters to attend to," Su Hua said coldly.

"Understood," the maid replied.

She hurried away, gasping for breath once she was out of earshot.

Oh no, the young lady was truly terrifying.

Su Guoxiong sat in the living room sipping tea. Due to his leg issues, he hadn't visited the Night Garden since his return.

This time, however, he noticed that the once cold and sterile decor of the Night Garden had been replaced with a more warm and inviting atmosphere.

"Not bad, not bad," Su Guoxiong nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

The maid approached him and said, "Sir, the young lady might not be able to see you."

"What about Xuan?" Su Guoxiong frowned.

"Master Lin is also occupied," the maid replied.

"What's going on? Didn't you say both Hua and Xuan were home?" Su Guoxiong's face was full of confusion.

"The young lady said they have matters to handle and asked you to return for now," the maid explained.

Su Guoxiong's brows furrowed tightly. Something felt off.

"Never mind. I'll wait here until they finish whatever they're doing," he said.

"Should I inform the young lady, sir?" the maid asked.

"No need," Su Guoxiong picked up a newspaper from the side table. "Don't disturb them."

"Understood."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she didn't have to deliver the message, or she might have had to endure the young lady's death glare again.

Upstairs in the study.

Su Hua closed the door and locked it.

"Hua, your grandfather is here. Isn't it improper for us not to see him?" Lin Xuan said.

To be honest, he was worried that Su Guoxiong might hold it against him for keeping Su Hua from meeting him.

One couldn't afford to offend the woman's family.

"Xuan, don't worry about outsiders," Su Hua stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around Lin Xuan's neck. "Xuan, weren't you trying to seduce me?"

Her eyes were filled with a bewitching allure, her slender fingers tracing Lin Xuan's chest. "Xuan, shall we continue?"

Su Hua lured him deeper into temptation.

Their lips met again.

Su Hua's body sank into the sofa.

As her clothes slipped off, Lin Xuan noticed the bandage on her right arm. "What's this?"

"I was attacked and got a minor injury. It's nothing serious," Su Hua said, pursing her lips. "The attacker is in custody."

"Hua, you should rest. We can continue another time," Lin Xuan said, concerned for her well-being.

The wound looked fresh, and he was afraid of accidentally reopening it.

At the mention of the assassin, Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold.

There were too many dangers around Su Hua.

He couldn't just focus on business and making money. It seemed he needed to expand his underground influence to truly protect her.

Su Hua's red lips curved into a smile. "Xuan, don't worry. You're the one doing the work, so it won't be a problem. Besides, it's just an arm injury. It won't interfere."

"Or..." Su Hua chuckled softly, "is Xuan getting cold feet at the last moment?"

Lin Xuan: "!!!"

Cold feet?

How could a real man back down when it came to matters like this?

Lin Xuan's competitive spirit was ignited.

"Is that so? Just don't cry later," Lin Xuan said through gritted teeth. This time, he was determined to prove himself.

Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, a hint of triumph flashed in Su Hua's eyes.

...

The air was thick with passion.

Three hours later, Su Hua had changed into a new nightgown, and Lin Xuan was now in casual attire.

"Xuan, my legs are a bit sore. Carry me downstairs," Su Hua's voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

Lin Xuan's heart melted.

What man didn't enjoy having a woman depend on him?

Especially someone like Su Hua, who was usually so strong-willed but showed her softer side only to him.

She had him completely wrapped around her finger.

Now, no other woman could catch his eye.

Lin Xuan scooped Su Hua into his arms, and she nestled against him, utterly reliant.

Hearing footsteps, Su Guoxiong set down his newspaper.

He glanced toward the staircase.

Su Guoxiong: "!!!"

They were this close? Carrying her down the stairs?

Su Guoxiong, afraid they might feel awkward, quickly picked up the newspaper and pretended to read.

When Lin Xuan carried Su Hua to the first floor, they saw Su Guoxiong sitting on the sofa.

Thankfully, Lin Xuan had kept his composure, or he might have been so nervous he'd have dropped Su Hua.

Su Hua pursed her lips.

Su Guoxiong's unexpected appearance had thrown all her plans into disarray.

"Finished with your matters?" Su Guoxiong asked casually, his eyes still on the newspaper.

"Grandfather," Lin Xuan hesitated, "your newspaper is upside down."
